Was Stanton a murder target?

John,

I wonder what you think about the trip of O’Laughlen to Baltimore on the morning of April 13, 1865. Like Roger I think there was probably no sufficient time to do it. Your whole theory re. O’Laughlen seems to be based on this trip. You said that Booth most likely gave O'Laughlen his assignment(s) in Baltimore on April 13. We know that Booth was in Ford’s Theatre and in Taltavull’s saloon that Thursday morning. And (early?) in the afternoon in Grover’s. A return trip from DC to Baltimore lasted those day ca. 4 to 5 hours, I think. And what do we know about “Justice” (for me still an enigmatic figure). I would appreciate your comments on this. Thanks.
